#1 All day long, our modern minds are bombarded with images calling for our attention. Millions of websites, photos, and over-the-top videos shared from friends, family members, and colleagues. Is it any wonder that once the average person gets home from a long day of blustering through the loudness of modern life that they would love to slink into an oasis of calm? The call for minimalist style in a kitchen is a call towards the zen aspect of life.

#2 As the world at large moves towards sleek technology that puts once unfathomable controls in the palm of your hand, kitchen appliances have been put in the pen to compete with the trend. Customers certainly won’t be satisfied with a clunky kitchen device after spending their day being wooed by a slender, whisper-thin device. Now kitchen appliances like the fridge, oven, and dishwasher, have been forced to be pared down and refined to mimic the slightness of our hand-held companions (despite the fact that an iPhone never made anyone ice for their drink).

#3 As our society becomes more and more hard pressed for time amidst hectic schedules, time has never been more of the essence to the average person, or the average family. In the economy of time, with spare moments being so precious, the last thing anyone wants to waste time on is cleaning. Dusting and vacuuming are a chore to be reckoned with this day and age. This is perhaps why so many interior design favor a minimalist look. Open spaces and clear, clean lines make for a simple time of cleaning. Surfaces such as stainless steel and glass are popular for use in modern kitchens because they provide splatter-friendly surfaces that are easy to clean without a lot fuss or worrying about polishing with specialty cleaners.

# 4 With so much visual chaos and clutter in the world today, it’s no wonder that the clean color pallet of minimalist kitchen design is so appealing to the masses. Minimalist kitchens often lean towards all-white surfaces, or alternating patterns of white and black, with some relaxing shades like cream or eggshell thrown into the mix to create a subtle touch of texture. This lack of color creates an aura of a wide, empty space. It leaves room to clear the mind and give the senses a rest. The concept of minimalism is to provide peace, relaxation, and contemplation that can all be had while cooking a pot of pasta.
